ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the value of MR diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in differentiating pancreatic carcinoma from chronic focal pancreatitis on 3.0 T MR system. Methods Thirteen patients with proved pancreatic carcinoma, 7 patients with confirmed chronic focal pancreatitis, and 14 healthy volunteers, were included in this study. MR examination including the routine abdomen scanning protocol and DWI was performed for both patients and volunteers. The SE-EPI sequence and ASSET technique were used for DWI. The b values of 400, 600, 800 and 1 000 s/mm2 were selected to acquire the DWI. The corresponding apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were measured in each designated region of interest and statistically analyzed. Results ①DWI of the healthy volunteers showed intermediate signals of pancreas. ②DWI of pancreatic tumor masses showed homogenous high signal intensity relative to the surrounding pancreatic tissue with clear boundary. Under different b values, the tumor ADC values were (1.63?0.235)?10-3 mm2/s, (1.42?0.126)?10-3 mm2/s, (1.36?0.170)?10-3 mm2/s and (1.26?0.178)?10-3 mm2/s respectively, which were significantly lower than those of non-tumor region (2.11?0.444)?10-3 mm2/s, (1.83?0.230)?10-3 mm2/s, (1.81?0.426)?10-3 mm2/s, (1.60?0.230)?10-3 mm2/s and of the normal pancreas (1.85?0.350)?10-3 mm2/s, (1.69?0.290)?10-3 mm2/s, (1.67?0.268)?10-3 mm2/s, (1.42?0.221)?10-3 mm2/s, P

ABSTRACT
Objective To introduce the current value of multi-detector row CT (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques on evaluation of diffuse hepatic parenchymal diseases. Methods By literature review,the application and recent advances of various kinds of MDCT and MR imaging techniques in evaluating diffuse hepatic parenchymal diseases were summarized. Results There were three kinds of diffuse liver parenchyma diseases,which were the diseases of storage,vascular and inflammatory. The morphology changes of diffuse liver parenchyma diseases could be demonstrated well by MDCT. MRI,especially MR functional imaging could reflect the morphology changes,and cellular metabolic activity of the liver,which provided qualitative and quantitative information for the diagnosis and evaluation of therapeutic effect on diffuse liver parenchyma diseases. Conclusion MR imaging techniques,especially those functional techniques,developed rapidly and had practical value in both the diagnosis and severity assessment of hepatic fibrosis.
